Reducing Risk - Stakeholder Series: Office of the Privacy Commissioner - Part 2

The Medical Protection New Zealand podcast

Show Notes

Privacy is nearly always complex and often difficult to understand. To bring clarity to common questions asked about privacy we are privileged to have Stephanie Gregor, the Manager for the Capability and Guidance area of the Privacy Commission come on this series of three podcasts. We answer interesting questions such as who is a patient’s representative if they die intestate? When can I withhold the name of a person who has provided unsolicited health information? Can I look through any patient’s notes without consent if it’s for educational purposes? We also discuss the upcoming amendment to the Privacy Act and many more topics.
